Short films celebrating local community groups and their volunteers will be on screen as part of the Two Minutes of Good Stuff film festival in Gisborne.
The event, organised by Gisborne Volunteer Centre, is focused on short films created by local filmmakers about local community organisations and volunteers.
It isusually held during National Volunteer week (June 15-21).
“This year’s theme, ‘The Stars Among Us’, invites filmmakers to capture the extraordinary local groups whose actions light up their communities,” an event website said.

“Much like the stars of Matariki that guide and inspire, this theme celebrates the people whose efforts positively shape and uplift those around them.
“Whether through acts of kindness, leadership, or collaboration, these stars make an impact that ripples out, creating brighter futures for our region and Aotearoa.”
There is also a People’s Choice award and prizes.
The event is on June 19, 7pm at Lawson Field Theatre, Gisborne.
